We don't know how much it will be nor which carriers will offer it (and, indeed, what sort of voice/data contracts, agreement lengths and subsidies they'll be doing), but that isn't stopping The Carphone Warehouse from asking us to pre-register interest for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. After Samsung announced earlier today that the 7-inch Froyo slate would be dropping in the UK from November 1st 2010, listing the retailer as a key sales partner, there's now a pre-registration page for more information.

Samsung Galaxy Tab pre-registration opens ahead of Nov 1 release
Samsung Galaxy Tab to land in UK on November 1
One of the more exciting tablets that we have been talking about over the last few weeks that will be coming soon to fight the iPad is the Galaxy Tab. We even spent a bit of hands on time with the Galaxy Tab last month and had fun while it lasted. Today some new info on availability for the tablet has surfaced.

Samsung Galaxy Tab’s Bluetooth Stylus/handset spotted for sale

Now a product page at UK retailer Play has been spotted, offering preorders of the capacitive stylus for £49.99 ($79) and tipping an October 4th release date.

Samsung Galaxy Tab demo video takes sly Apple potshot?
If we weren't so inclined to see the good in everyone, we might think Samsung's newest official video demo of the Galaxy Tab was also a thinly-veiled dig at Apple; after all, the Cupertino company has been scolded in the past for making their hardware look faster in adverts than it actually is in real life. In contrast, Samsung's new footage opens with the reminder that "the video doesn't contain any graphic effects" and even goes so far as to claim to be "objectively" demonstrating the 7-inch Android tablet.

Invasion of the Tablets
The day started with the Wall Street Journal reporting that the CEO of Best Buy Brian Dun shared that the iPad was cannibalizing Best Buy’s laptop sales by a shocking 50%. They day ended with Samsung announcing that their Galaxy Tab 7 inch slate will be available on all four major wireless carriers here in the US in the coming month’s.
Samsung is the first of what I expect to be many major consumer brands launching tablets with carrier support over the next 6 month’s. Smart phones and soon to be Super Phones may be the fastest growing category in the industry but tablets are certainly the hottest trend I am seeing right now. With the latest comments by Best Buy’s CEO you can see why so many in the industry have their eyes fixed on this space.
iPad vs. Galaxy Tab
In our wrap-up, we mention that choosing between Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s upcoming (to the United States) Galaxy Tab tablets would be something you would need to figure out on your own. Simply put, the User Interface, hardware, and pricing all play a major part in what products we buy, and that’s no different when it comes to something like a tablet. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t give you a ton of pictures comparing the two devices, as well as a bit of our own insight.
